RANDOM POTPOURRI

Yes as some TV “wit” remarked;”Fall has fell”. The leaves are dropping and soon the trees will be barren. Already new material for a blog is in a fall mode.

There has been no positive news from the Mid-East; but at least nothing negative for two days. In Kenya terrorists have once again shown how vulnerable Malls as well as stadiums. mass transport, indeed any place where crowds can aggregate can be to a determined group.

Although not classified as terrorists; both the extreme right Republican wing and the far left Democrat faction in Congress continue to threaten our economy and savings by not yielding an inch. As long as their own income is safe the “H” with everyone else’s.

By October 15 the day of reckoning will be it for all of us. At least the British have always managed to muddle through.

As to this antiquated blogger; Monday will be occupied by getting my semi-annual flat tire fixed while repairs to the heating system are taking place.That’s a busy day. Tuesday is not any better; two social visits to specialists for annual; "How are you, OK, see you in a year (six months)" visits take place. I believe in supporting the economy.

Seriously, preventive care is important. One may think these visits are nonsense but if the physician asks the right questions, and/or the patient volunteers all information even if he feels it to be irreverent, then perhaps major problems can be averted.

 
While I do post 99% of the comments I receive there are some especially from regulars such as ‘Bob”, “Rob”, “Alan”, and “Blackdog” that are serious enough to merit collecting and posting as part of a devoted blog.
